Jim Fenton has worked at The Enterprise since 1981 and began covering the Celtics in the 1985-86 championship season when Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish formed the Big 3. He was seated courtside for nearly every home game during the 22-year title drought that came to an end in 2008 when the new Big 3 of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen turned things around.

Celtics coach Doc Rivers, a supporter of President Barack Obama, was obviously happy with the results of Tuesday night's election.

Rivers is a native of Chicago and Obama was a senator from Illinois before becoming president.

"That was a good evening if you're a supporter of the president, which I am,'' said Rivers before the Celtics faced the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. "So that was a lot of fun, nerve wracking, actually.

"I went to a movie (Argo) in the middle of it because I couldn't take it anymore. I was getting texts from people. They were telling me what was going on and I didn't trust that. I was turning into Karl Rove, which was unbelievable.''

Rivers said when he found out Obama had been declared the winner, he left the move before it ended.

"So I didn't see the end of Argo and it was terrific, so I've got to go pay again, which if you know me, that really (ticks) me off, having to pay twice,'' he said.
